Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points: 0P and 12B. BP4_StrongBA1
The NM_001387994.1(BAG6):āc.1963T>Cā(p.Ser655Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.486 in 1,609,852 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 192,892 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
BAG6 (HGNC:13919): (BAG cochaperone 6) This gene was first characterized as part of a cluster of genes located within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is cleaved by caspase 3 and is implicated in the control of apoptosis. In addition, the protein forms a complex with E1A binding protein p300 and is required for the acetylation of p53 in response to DNA damage. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
